Four miles--the first two in 15:25 and the last two in 13:48.  I was pretty happy with the very controlled faster pace, as I haven't done a whole lot of it in the last while.

I ran the Hollywood 1/2 marathon today.  My time was 1:37:02.  I started late and so it was crowded and was weaving a lot for the first 4 miles or so.  But then I finished stronger.  I think I could have run a 1:33 or so under better racing conditions, but I was happy with where my fitness was.  After I finished, I ran back and found Anna and finished with her.  It was a fun trip and good to race.  I'm wanting to get back under 1:30, even closer to 1:20 like I used to be, and that may happen later this year with continued mileage and cycling.

It was a nice run and my legs felt pretty good after the 18 on Saturday.  Now I just want to continue building and maintaining miles for the next few months.

12 miles total with 2 easier to start and then a little faster the next 10.  Felt really good to get out a little longer on a Tuesday.
